For the multiplication of any alien piece of DNA in an organism:
1. It must be devoid of any introns in it
2. It must be a part of a chromosome with an ori
3. It must have recognition sequence of at least one restriction enzyme
4. It must have selectable markers
For the synthesis of 4 copies of DNA, how many sets of primers are needed in PCR
1. 2 sets
2. 8 sets
3. 4 sets
4. Random
The process of competent cell formation include
1. CaCl2 treatment- ice incubation with r-DNA, heat shock at 42 degree Celsius, ice incubation
2. Ice incubation - CaCl2 treatment - Heat shock-Ice incubation with r-DNA
3. CaCl2 treatment - Heat shock -Ice incubation with r-DNA
4. Ice incubation - CaCl2 treatment - Heat treatment at 45 degree Celsius, Ice incubation with r-DNA
In order to make the host cell competent
Divalent cations such as calcium are used-
1. The divalent ions have to be in a specific concentration
2. They cause the DNA uptake by the cell
3. They increase the efficiency with which DNA enters the bacterium through pores in its cell wall.
4. All of the above
